Property:
Methyl cellulose(MC) is a kind of non-ion aqueous cellulous ether, white or white-similar powder or granule, no odor or taste, nontoxic, with a little hygroscopicity. Different substitution offers different solubility, usually medium substitution (DS between 1.5-2.0) comes under cool aqueous model, and finds widest applications. It dissolves in cool water and some organic solvents, does not dissolve in hot water. In hot water at 80-90° C it dissolves and swells, after cooled down, dissolving quickly.
Its solution possesses reversible hot gelling characteristic, stable to acid and alkali, is not affected between pH 2-12, with excellent anti-mildew ability, capable of dispersing, emulsifying, agglomerating, thickening, holding water, forming film etc. Film formed by its offers superior toughness flexibility, transparency and oil resistance.

Applications:
Methyl cellulose is a kind of non-ionic cellulose ether, it has four important functions: thickening, surface activity, film forming and thermo-gel forming (melting on cooling).This product can be used for coating film formers, pharm and food film formers, resin dispersant, thickener, building materials' adhesive, textile sizing agent, etc.

Packing: Net 20kg fiber drums.

Storage: Keep packing container well-closed, and put in a light-proof, dry and cool place.
